Core Tip	Hepatitis B infection can be prevented with vaccination. Birth dose followed by three doses of hepatitis B vaccine in infancy is one of the key intervention to prevent hepatitis B transmission. Unfortunately, the coverage of hepatitis B vaccination among newborns are not adequate in India. Our article identified that the parents have poor knowledge about the hepatitis B and increasing knowledge/awareness about HBV among parents may improve Hepatitis B vaccine coverage in the country.
